Chapter 112: Veliona: I didn't agree to this marriage!
After passing through the portal created by Cosmic Juggernaut, Kirataka brought Seele back to the original world.
When he entered the Quantum Sea, he specifically found an underground parking lot in Nagazora City, and now he happened to be returning here.
The blue-haired girl passed through the portal and stepped onto the real land after a long time.
Kirataka took out the communication terminal placed here and sent a message to Bronya.
——Although he spent more than two days in the quantum sea because that world bubble was controlled by Su, he actually only experienced twelve hours on the time scale of the intrinsic world.
Considering the time we arrived in Nagazora City, it should be evening now.
Bronya should still be wandering around Nagazora City, clearing out the Honkai beasts. Now is the perfect time to call her over.
After sending the message to the girl, Kirataka finally stood up and looked at Seele beside him.
"I still find it a little weird…"
The girl stood on the solid ground and said in a daze.
She actually came back, back to this world.
Once, she thought that she would never have the chance to realize this humble dream and would wander forever in that bottomless abyss.
Unexpectedly, she has been able to return now...
Perhaps because she was too excited, the girl shed two lines of tears unconsciously.
"I finally escaped from the sea of suffering, shouldn't I smile?"
"Uh-huh."
The girl wiped away the tears from her eyes, and then thanked him sincerely:
"Thank you, Brother Kirataka."
Kirataka nodded without comment, then said with a smile:
"Okay, let me take you out of here first."
There is nothing interesting to see in this dark underground parking lot.
If they want to wait for Bronya to come, they should go outside.
…
It was late at night and a bright moon was hanging high in the sky.
In a city where most areas have turned into ruins, Kirataka took Seele to find a building that was still relatively intact and waited for Bronya's arrival on the top of the tall building.
"Brother Kirataka, has there been a war here?"
Seele looked at the incomplete scenery around her and asked Kirataka in a low voice.
——She still lacked a fundamental understanding of the collapse and the harm it could bring, so she instinctively believed that the culprit for the dilapidated scene before her was the war.
"Well, this... is a bit complicated."
Although he really wanted to tell the girl in front of him directly that all this was a disaster caused by her dear "Mother Cocolia," but at this moment when she had just returned, it was better not to talk about these things for the time being.
As for the matter concerning Cocolia, it would be better for Bronya to explain it to Seele herself later.
"By the way, Brother Kirataka, the other me seems to have something to tell you... Can I let her come out?"
Seele said abruptly.
the other Seele?
What does she want from me?
With these doubts, Kirataka nodded and said:
"Well, let her out."
After all, the fact that they had two souls in one body had been completely exposed in Sakura's Stigmata space, so they no longer had any reason to continue hiding this matter from her.
The girl gently closed her eyes, and after a few seconds, she opened them again. Her eyes, which were as blue as the sea, turned into scarlet with a hint of madness.
For some reason, there was something complicated in the look she gave Kirataka.
How much gratitude, and how much...anger?
'I didn't offend this little girl, right?'
Kirataka pondered to himself.
"That..."
After hesitating for a while, the other Seele spoke.
"Well, go ahead."
Kirataka looked at the shy girl with a smile.
This reaction was unlike the other Seele he knew.
"I..."
After being awkward for a while, the other Seele finally said hesitantly:
"Thank you...you rescued Seele!"
Regarding this matter, she really had to thank him properly like that idiot.
"How do you want me to thank me? Give me your body?"
Kirataka joked.
"...NO!"
The girl blushed at first, then said with a straight face:
"By the way, speaking of this, I don't agree with your marriage to Seele!"
——After defeating the Judgment-level Honkai beast named Kukulkan, while taking a temporary rest in Yae Sakura's Stigmata space, she also took the time to look back at the two days that Seele had spent in that world while she was sleeping.
You won't know until you see it, and you'll be shocked when you see it.
While she was asleep, Seele had been "married" out for no apparent reason?!
This is like the sky is falling!
"Ah… that is…"
Kirataka tried to explain somewhat helplessly.
Did the other Seele automatically ignore the more crucial part? For example, he and Seele were just playing house for Sirin...
Without giving him a chance to explain, the girl continued:
"Although Seele is very gentle, considerate, cute, lovable, and has many advantages, she is still young. It's too early to talk about marriage now!"
Seele was fourteen years old when she entered the Quantum Ocean for the X-10 experiment. Now, more than a year has passed, and she is only fifteen years old.
So, at least, we have to wait a few more years.
Besides, no matter how you look at it, the relationship has developed so rapidly when they have only known each other for a short time; it is a bit too fast!
"…"
Faced with this girl whose focus was slightly off, Kirataka didn't know what to say for a moment.
Then again, from what she said, it seemed like she would just have to wait a few years until Seele came of age...
After thinking about it, Kirataka simply joked:
"In that case, if I really marry Seele, would that be the same as marrying you?"
After all, they are two souls in one body and there is no difference between them.
"...ha?!"
The other Seele was startled at first, then her cheeks suddenly turned red.
——She had never considered this problem at all!
In other words, she had never thought about anything related to herself.
She was good at attacking high and defending low. Facing Kirataka's sharp questions, she simply dodged back and pushed Seele out again.
"Eh… that…"
Seele, who was forced to log in, regained control of her body and seemed a little overwhelmed.
she had led the conversation in a strange direction, and being naturally shy, she was naturally a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say.
Fortunately, a silver-haired girl happened to arrive near them at this time.
"Seele, Kirataka...!"
Although they were far apart, the silver-haired girl still saw them at a glance.
She reached the top of the tall building at an extremely fast speed and stopped only a few steps away from them.
"Seele...it's really you..."
Bronya said with difficulty.
The girl, who had lost almost all her emotional functions due to the X-10 experiment, had a trembling tone at this moment.
Seele folded her hands on her chest and responded gently:
"Well, Sister Bronya... Seele is back."
